## Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved device and method for the determination of a concussive state, while taking an EEG reading from the Fcz, Fc3 and Pz positions on the human and combining it with simultaneous eye tracking a more accurate measurement for determination of a concussive state can be had.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for determining a concussive state in a human comprising:
a) an electroencephalogram (EEG) for acquiring EEG readings from 3 electrodes positioned on the head of the human wherein the electrodes are placed at the Fcz, Fc3 and Pz positions on the human; and
b) an eye tracking device which consists of the ability to track eyes wherein what is measured consists of openness, visual axis of the eye and eye focus of the human while the EEG readings are being acquired.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1 which further comprises an analytical device for analyzing the EEG reading and eye tracking together to asses if the human has a concussion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system according to claim 2 wherein the analytical device is driven by artificial intelligence machine learning.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The system according to claim 2 wherein the analytical device is a smart phone.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1 wherein the eye tracking device consists of a head mounted display that displays at least one eye tracking and at least one EEG stimulating display.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1 wherein the system is portable.

### Claim 7

A method for a concussion assessment on a human comprising:
a) obtaining an EEG with electrodes on the human Fcz, Fc3 and Pz positions on the human;
b) simultaneously with the EEG obtaining eye tracking of the human; and
c) sending the EEG and the obtained eye tracking to an analytical device for concussion assessment.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method for a concussion assessment on a human according to claim 7 wherein the analytical device is driven by artificial intelligence.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method for a concussion assessment on a human according to claim 7 wherein the analytical device for concussion assessment is a smart phone.
